\r\n\r\nThe lawsuit highlights both the long history of the white majority in Georgia using racial discrimination to maintain political power and the persistent need for the federal government to step in to ensure maps allocate political power in a way that does not violate federal law or the Constitution. The suit charges that the newly drawn congressional map violates the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by intentionally denying Black communities in Georgia representation and therefore equal protection of the law.\r\n\r\nThe case,\u00a0<\/span>Nguy\u00ean nh\u00e2n chung, et al. ki\u1ec7n Brad Raffensperger v\u00e0 nh\u1eefng ng\u01b0\u1eddi kh\u00e1c.<\/em><\/a>, was brought on behalf of Common Cause, the League of Women Voters of Georgia, and individual Georgians.
